Good news for Amiibo haters

So apparently Starfox Zero won't have amiibo integration

This is completely not what the article says:

Miyamoto: “In terms of being able to unlock content, I don’t really want to go down that path. For this game, I think of it more as, for people who have the Amiibo, they’re going to get a little something extra and that’s how I’m planning on it with this game. So rather than actual abilities or things like that changing in the game, it would be like getting a different skin for the Arwing or something like that.”

There's going to be Amiibo compatibility, it's just not going to be for anything important.

It wouldn't surprise me if the fox amiibo for smash works, kind of like how it does in mario kart and ace combat. I'm kind of glad though, while I like amiibos I would rather see them continue as extras rather than requirements.

Close enough

Keep in mind, it was mentioned before that the Fox and the upcoming Falco amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. range are to be usable in this game, and recently they event talked about a new Star Fox amiibo which will be an Arwing that can function and transform into its walker mode, and that they already have a working model for it, bringing amiibo to be more toy-like than simply solid figurine. They already introduced such a concept with the Yarn Yoshi amiibo for Yoshi's Woolly World, and Nintendo's exclusive Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylander figurine/amiibo hybrids for the Wii U version of Skylanders: SuperChargers.

What this article really confirms is that functions in the game will not be as significant, more in level with Mario Kart 8, which has amiibo functionality as a neat extra (giving character-themed suits to the Mii racer), but is not crucial to the gameplay overall. To be frank, the way I personally see Star Fox Zero it is not the type of game meant for any significant usage of amiibo.

Not... not really. "There will be Amiibos" is kind of the exact opposite of "there will be no amiibos". This topic is extremely misleading.
